The '''Halo Xbox One announcement trailer''' is a pre-rendered [[trailer]] announcing the return of the ''[[Halo]]'' franchise on the [[Xbox One]] console in [[2014]].<ref name="H5">[http://news.xbox.com/2014/05/games-halo-journey-announcement '''Xbox Wire''': ''The Halo Journey'']</ref> First shown at [[Microsoft]]'s [[Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3]] 2013 conference, the trailer features [[John-117]] journeying through a desert on an alien planet and encountering an unknown machine.<ref>[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/detail/111609fe-d53c-4400-b4d6-44ae3629dda3/halo-xbox-one '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''Halo Xbox One'']</ref> Although its content alludes to ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', set for a fall [[2015]] release, the trailer was not meant to be an announcement for that particular game but rather a broader "journey" set to begin in 2014 with the release of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' and the ''[[Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta]]''. For this reason, the trailer does not assign a specific title or number for the game.<ref name="H5"/><ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/06/25/microsoft-on-halo-5-halo-2-anniversary '''IGN''' ''Microsoft on Halo 5, Halo 2 Anniversary'']</ref> | |||

*A version of the trailer posted by Axis Animation in their web portfolio displays the title ''"Halo 5"'' in the end as opposed to simply ''Halo''.<ref name="axis"/> This version also features a few changes from the original version. The background melody is slightly more audible than the original version, and some sound effects were changed and/or deleted. | |||
